Celebrate by thinking outside the plastic bag.

Recycling plays a vital role in our communities –
it deserves more than one day of recognition each year. So let’s celebrate recycling with tips and tools to recycle right – today and every day.Plastic bags and bagged recyclables don’t belong in any residential recycling containers – they pose safety hazards for workers, contaminate other recyclables, and damage recycling equipment. Today we are launching a new ‘Think Outside the Plastic Bag’ campaign to help cities and residents recycle right without using plastic bags or bagging recyclables.Visit RORR.com/no-plastic-bags to download tools and resources to post on your website and share in resident e-newsletters. Post our Get Started videos that show residents how easy it is to set up recycling in their homes without using plastic bags. Visit Waste Management’s YouTube channel and share funny Billy and Teddy videos – those guys are most effective in helping everyone recycle right!Let’s continue to work together to keep both plastic bags and bagged recyclables out of all residential recycling containers. Thank you as always for your business.Take these simple steps.

With winter upon us, the Public Works Department would like to remind residents of the winter parking prohibitions. Please do not park along any village street during snow falls of two inches or more. Violators may be ticketed or towed. With your cooperation, this will help in getting the roads cleared as quickly as possible.

The Maple Park Village Code reads as follows:

7-4-1-1: PARKING PROHIBITED AFTER SNOWFALL

A. It shall be unlawful to park any vehicle on any public street in the village at any time after a snowfall of two inches (2″) or more has occurred.
B. Any person, firm, partnership, corporation or association found violating the provisions of this section shall be subject to a fine for each violation of this section and may be subject to towing of said vehicle. The cost of said towing shall be the obligation and the expense of the vehicle owner. (Ord. 2013-05, 4-2-2013)
